Listening to stories or storytelling via creating fake scenarios to hide the truth has been part of any individual’s life since childhood. Like happens in movies, the introduction scenes, the interval that leaves us at a cliffhanger, then the climax where a happy ending is expected.
In the CBSE curriculum, story writing has been incorporated to help students improve their creative and critical thinking skills. It helps in developing communication skills as well. We might also find some potential writers. This writing piece will cover everything regarding what a story is, the structure of story writing, format, and some examples that will help write good stories, especially from the exam’s point of view.

A story can be a description of unreal or real events, starting with character introductions and leading to the plot unfolding in a setting, finally concluded by the climax. A story can be written, told, or executed in visual form, like in movies. Based on the plot, a story can have various genres like comedy, horror, and action.
Story writing refers to the technique or process of narrating a narrative where the writer sets forth a plot that is driven by a situation leading to the main problem, followed by finding the solution to the problem, and finally, the climax that deals with the outcome of the solution.
In the Class 9 CBSE curriculum, stories can enhance students's vocabulary, creativity, and language skills, which can turn into a hobby and later on into a potential writer. Students or anyone can write a well-knitted story once they know the components as well as the format of the story.
There is no specific format for story writing, but from the exam’s perspective, the basic structure has to be followed.
One needs to be aware of the components of storywriting to write a well-knit and engaging story.

The Flying Elephant and My Homework
I’m sorry, ma’am. I couldn’t do my homework because... I was on my way back from school yesterday, thinking about all the chores and homework I had to do. Then suddenly, my bicycle got a flat tyre and skidded down a slope. I was lucky I didn’t have a bad fall. So I was dragging my bicycle along, and on the way, I saw two elephants and their mahouts training. It was exciting to see them, and somehow these elephants looked special.
The first elephant started flapping his ears, and before you knew it, it got bigger and bigger, and he started flying. I asked them if they could drop me, and they agreed to make me ride the flying elephant, but with one condition: I had to feed the elephant the next day. Feeling ecstatic, I just said, ‘Yes’.
I was over the moon when the elephant started flying. It buzzed through all the traffic, and I reached home within minutes. I thanked the mahouts and dashed into the house to tell my story. After dinner, I completed my homework and decided to hit the sack.
In the morning, a loud trumpet woke me up. I saw that the elephant was back, and it made me recall what I promised to the mahout. I got a couple of snacks from the fridge and offered them to the elephant, but the elephant wouldn’t eat anything. Then all of a sudden, the elephant raised his trunk and started sucking in air like a vacuum, and all the leaves in the garden and the paper from all the books in our library flew straight into the elephant’s mouth. The mahout mentioned that his elephant liked the paper. After eating all the paper, it flew off with the mahout.
I went back in to get ready for school, and I realised that my homework was gone and I couldn’t write a new one because the elephant had eaten all the papers in my house.

My First Job
I was scared but eager to land my first job as a cub reporter for a children’s newspaper. I dressed carefully for the interview and arrived on time. On the threshold itself, my throat felt dry, and my hands shook slightly as I turned the door knob. But when the interview board of six people welcomed me warmly, my fears vanished. I felt composed, as I was well prepared.
The board went through my file of write-ups. They invited me to join a group discussion on whether schools should give homework. I argued vehemently in favour, countering the board’s stock suggestions about burdening children, making parents into homework writing machines, and making children inattentive in class. The board seemed satisfied with my refutations in favour of giving homework.
In the end, I felt a palpable air of satisfaction all around. Thus, when their final approval of me as a cub reporter arrived, I was ready to take off on my new assignment.
Storywriting is an art. It is the oldest form of written composition. It is a work of imagination that should be clear and easily intelligible. A short story is meant to be read in a single sitting, so it should be as direct and brief as possible.
